Strategic Sourcing Guide to Truck Equipment And Parts Procurement

Overview

Purchase market around the world is undergoing rapid transitions that have a massive potential to influence the way companies strategize for Truck Equipment And Parts procurement and the cost they have to incur. Regulatory changes are taking place more frequently and, in some cases, randomly. It is getting difficult to align procurement with all the new regulations, especially when category managers are responsible for multiple regions with different regulations.

Many suppliers are reeling under pressure from a lack of sufficiently trained manpower in enough numbers.

With fuel prices going up in many geographies, category managers are under tremendous pressure to compensate by achieving a higher cost saving in procurement of Truck Equipment And Parts.

Truck Equipment And Parts Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Truck Equipment And Parts procurement.

For example, Vehicle replacement cycles is a mechanism used to calculate maintenance and depreciation-related costs associated with a vehicle. Service providers perform such calculations on behalf of buyers. Vehicle replacement cycles enable end-users to follow safety measures and minimize operating costs. These are calculated after a certain mileage or specific years of use. Furthermore, buyers should engage with service providers that offer analysis with respect to fuel consumed as well as provide maintenance and repair services.

Buyers should adopt strategic contract management activities as it helps them to avoid additional costs. Additional mileage allocation, interest rate, residual value and terms related to capitalized cost reduction are some of the terms that can be included by the buyers in the contract terms.

Buyers should always ensure that the price quoted by a service provider includes all other charges such as VAT, disposition fees, interest rates, and other taxes charged by suppliers. A detailed fee structure helps buyers save significant costs and helps to compare suppliers in an efficient way.
